Cleneneeau. and stands before Europe as himself
the depository of some real political power and
not the mere figure head he has been supposed 10
be. Two men named as probable colleagues OIL
n. Rouvier are two of the group of your French
rueas last autumn NJ Spuller is leader OF the
liambettjst group Admiral Jau!ez is rather
restless sailor with diplomatic and political am
bltions NJ t1ourens is reported likely to remain
Foreign Minister, post in which, though ho'lce'
he has not done badly NJ Rouyier, however,
will have either TO come TO terms with Nj. Clemen-
eeau or lean On the Right, as he leaves out H.
Clemenceau's pet minister, and substitutes NJ
tausser for General Boulanger. A high price
would have to be paid for II. Clemenceaus sup
port. Behind NJ Rouvier, moreover, stands NJ.
Ferry, whom NJ. Clemenceau overthrow and dis
trusts profoundly. Radical opposition therefore is
what NJ Rouvier must expect, with a prospect OF
carly dissolution and appeal to the country
on an issue not of his choosing
There Is nothing new on the Egyptian business
nor is any complete and authentic account OF Sir
H. ID. VOLTS convention with the Sultan likely
to appear till Parliament meets If anything could
quiet the apprehension to which Sir ii. ID. VOLTS
proceedings have given rise, it would be the
French estimate of the agreement to evacuate
Egypt three years hence. NJ. John Lemoinnc
expresses it with his usual point sharpened by
dislike Of England The agreement is to his
mind purely illusoFy convention, full of snares
and dangers What that means is that Sir II.
ID, Wolf has not opened the door for the French
to return to a country they deeply regret having;
quilted.
Private news about the Crown Prince of Ger
many is far more serious than public. Ii the
affection Of his throat be not cancer it is some
thing scarcely less difficult to treat. English
specialists say the German surgeons proposal to
operate from the outside means one of two things,
either that the disease is too low down to be
reached otherwise, or that the patient was In
danger OF stranguation. Prince Bismarck used
all his influence to prevent operation, the result
of which the surgeons admitted was uncertain and
possibly would be fatal. Dr.. Moreli Mackenzie
was sent for from London with the same object
1hs very eminent knglishman does not rank higher
than Ole or two of his Berlin colleagues. but an
independent opinion was wanted.
1he alarm of the Royal family at Berlin is very
great The best informed people at that capital
think it very doubtful whether the Crown Prince
will recover. The feeling in Paris is one Of dis.
tress. French statesmen have long looked with
hope to the Crown Princes accession to the throne,
believing him to be resolved on reduction of
existing armaments.
Holidays are running their course undisturbed
by any fresh political excitement Nobody since
Er. Morley has made speech Of which it is
requisite to take the least notice. No fresh Incl.
dent has occurred unless the Bodyke evictions
Can be called fresh. They promise 10 provoke
some excitement both on the spot and in England
MIR. O'Brens Canadian tour has become almost
an old story. His reception al Albany and welcome
by the Legislature and Governor hardly provoke
Comment. The papers, whether from choice or
necessity, writing about anything rather than
home politics. lhe burning of the Opera Comique,
Paris has given them topic. That disaster
indeed has Mortified the English public hardly less
than if it had happened in London The state of
the London theatres and the possibilities of
escape from them IN case OF fire are discussed.
Everybody knows there half dozen in which
the audience have every chance of beng
roasted alive But no efficient measures
of precautlon are or are likely to DO
adopted.
The very strong letter against Mr. OBrien and
DR.. Tanner in "The Daily News from Canon Mac
Coll derives its real significance from the fact that
Canon Mac JOll is strong Home Ruler and s
rather an intimate personal friend of Mr.. Glad
stone. The Reverend Canon IN intans that Mr..
OBrieDs trip to Canada of criminal folly,
his sole object being TO vent his vindictive spleen
against Lord Lansdowne His continued pres
ence." says Canon MacColl. "on the other side Of
the Atlantic is more fraught with danger to the
cause of Ireland than all the combined forces
arrayed against Home Rule" Dr. Tanners per-
iofmances In the House OF Commons are called the
antics OK harlequin" 1t is not probable that
